Ski Country Amateur Radio Club - KØRV

 

 

Amateur radio had been alive and well in the Glenwood Springs-Aspen area prior to 1969.  That was the year the first attempt at organized activity was made. The Club was first known as GLENWOOD AMATEUR SOCIETY, GAS. The primary emphasis of the group in the beginning was ARRL Field Day. The first field day effort was in June 1970 at a location above Glenwood Springs. Since then the group has grown, changed, and evolved into what is now the SKI COUNTRY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB, call sign KØRV.

The Ski Country Amateur Radio Club, is a non-profit 501(c)(3) Colorado Corporation, based in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The Club covers a large portion of western Colorado, including Garfield, Pitkin, and Eagle counties.
